dbo:abstract
  • Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), commonly known by his last name, Morrissey, or by his nickname, Moz, is an English singer, lyricist and author. He rose to prominence in the 1980s as the lyricist and vocalist of the rock band The Smiths. The band was highly successful in the United Kingdom but broke up in 1987, and Morrissey began a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions. His first solo album, 1988's Viva Hate, entered the UK Albums Chart at number one.Morrissey is widely regarded as an important innovator in the indie music scene; music magazine NME considers Morrissey to be %22one of the most influential artists ever%22, while The Independent says, %22Most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status he has reached in his lifetime.%22 In 2004, Pitchfork Media called him %22one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last 20 years.%22Morrissey's lyrics have been described as %22dramatic, bleak, funny vignettes about doomed relationships, lonely nightclubs, the burden of the past and the prison of the home%22. He is also noted for his unusual baritone vocal style (though he sometimes uses falsetto), his quiff hairstyle and his dynamic live performances. In the media, Morrissey's forthright and often contrarian opinions have caused many controversies; he has attracted media attention for his strong advocacy of vegetarianism and animal rights. He describes himself in his autobiography as an animal protectionist.
